Thank you for your generous support of St. John Parish. Each quarter we provide giving statements to you, so you can check the accuracy of your contributions and update your contact information, if necessary. Please contact Teresa Gillett at tgillett@stjohnsea.org to let us know if you would NOT like to receive your statement (if you have not done so already) and include any new or different contact information if applicable.
Annual Blessing of the Animals, Sunday, Oct. 13 from Noon-12:45pm, St. John School Schoolyard
The St. John’s Saint Francis of Assisi ministry and the St. Benedict’s Care for Creation ministry would like to invite you to bring your pet to St. John’s schoolyard on Sunday, October 13 to celebrate the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi. Father Parrish will bless the animals between Noon-12:45pm. We anticipate animals of all sizes and types, and we don’t wish any to be harmed; we require all dogs to either be leashed or carried in a secure dog carrier. All other animals (e.g., cats, birds, hamsters, snakes, etc.) need to be brought to the schoolyard in a secure carrier. If you can’t bring your pet in a secure carrier or if you can’t control your leashed dog, please leave your pet home and bring a photo for Father Parrish to bless.
The 12th Annual Blessing of the Backpacks
Thank you! The Food Drive for BTK-8 & St. Vincent de Paul was another HUGE success! Thank you to the sixth-grade students and teachers for their assistance getting the word out, directing the food drop-off, bringing everything to the Parish Office and sorting the food. Many thanks as well to all who participated in the Blessing at the 10:30 Mass on Sunday. We have a wonderful community!
